He mortgaged the college he had just acquired?
Her eyes lit up: "Teacher, give me all the money you have on you, and I'll figure out how to get the rest, okay?"
Seeing Jiang Yunzhou hesitate, she immediately added insult to injury: "No way, no way~ No one would own 70% of the shares and not contribute a single penny, right?"
Jiang Yunzhou blushed and slammed 90,000 gold coins onto the table:
"Hmph! If I'd known it would cost this much money, I shouldn't have accepted this student into the academy..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slipped away and ran back to the courtyard.
After the man left, the three women looked at each other, smiled, and high-fived in celebration.
"Plan works perfectly! The Spiritual Connection Tool is really useful!"
That's right, they were whispering to each other, working together to swindle money from the teacher.
Xiao Wu asked with a grin, "Rongrong, is what you said true? Do men really turn bad when they have money?"
Zhu Zhuqing was also interested in this question and leaned closer to listen.
Ning Rongrong replied confidently, "Of course, I guarantee I'll learn! So, we're doing this for the teacher's sake~"
"If the teacher doesn't have money, he won't mess around, and then he'll pay more attention to us, right?"
The three women were in high spirits and went back to their rooms.
After watching the three maids chatter away back to their room, Jiang Yunzhou couldn't help but chuckle softly, rubbing his forehead.
"Do you really think I can't see through your little schemes? Are you all ganging up on me?"
He was well aware that the expense was enormous and shouldn't be borne entirely by his apprentices, but since they wanted to perform, he would just accompany them.
I'm currently short of money, so I'll make up for it another day.
Thinking of the three women's smug expressions of having "mastered the plan" just now, Jiang Yunzhou couldn't help but smile.
He was well aware of the girls' dependence on him and their subtle feelings for him, but they were still young, and he had other considerations.
"99 points of charm are not just for show."
He stroked his chin, a sly glint in his eyes. "So what if I don't have money? If I can pick up girls for free, I'll never spend any money."
Thinking back to my time in Suotuo City, during those dates with the receptionist, she always insisted on paying the bill.
If he hadn't felt really bad about it, why would he have specially given her the "Divine Speed and Ever-Changing" movement technique?
"But what they said makes sense. Where can we find a teacher like this?"
Under the moonlight, he stood by the window, stroking his stubble, and muttered:
"Adding a few more teachers to the academy is indeed a feasible method. Now let this damn charm shine."
After thinking for a moment, a glint flashed in his eyes: "If we were to invite Yuexuan, that 'brother-obsessed' guy, to teach at the Supreme Academy, what would the chances be?"
Then, thinking of Liu Erlong next door, who had a fiery temper but still retained her charm, he laughed and said, "If we could snatch her away, wouldn't that be the same as taking over the entire Lanba Academy?"
The night wind blew by, bringing a bit of coolness.
Jiang Yunzhou took out a pot of aged wine, intending to drink alone under the moon, but then thought it would be better to find a beautiful woman to accompany him.
Forget about the three apprentices; they're not at the age for drinking now.
"It's still early, how about we go out for a walk?"
Without hesitation, he vanished like a ghost, reappearing outside the small building on the back mountain of the opposite academy.
The warm yellow light shone through the wooden windows, creating a particularly cozy atmosphere in the night.
He stepped forward and gently knocked on the door: "Is anyone home? I'd like a plate of peanuts to go with my drinks."
Inside the room, Liu Erlong was staring blankly at the candlelight, the figure she had seen during the day flashing through her mind from time to time.
It just won't go away, it just won't go away!
While I was lost in thought, I was startled by this sudden sound.
Given that her residence is usually secluded, why would someone suddenly visit her late at night?
What fertilized her was that she didn't even realize someone was coming.
"Who?" Her voice held a hint of nervousness.
"My name is Jiang Yunzhou, you could say I'm your neighbor! I have some wine, but I'm lacking some snacks to go with it..."
He was open and honest, and never bothered to hide his real name.
Liu Erlong was stunned, thinking that she was hallucinating because she was missing him too much.
"Jiang Yunzhou? Neighbor? Yes, yes, that Jiang Yunzhou over there?"
It's been a whole day, a whole day, and she's practically been brainwashed by this name.
Hearing that name clearly now made her speech a little slurred.
"It is indeed me. Dean Liu, you wouldn't be unwelcoming to me, would you?"
Her heart suddenly pounded: "Wait, wait! I... I'll change my clothes!"
She said she was changing clothes, and in fact, she really was changing clothes.
It's just a matter of replacing overly conservative clothes with less conservative ones.
The door creaked open, and suddenly my eyes were filled with light.
It reflected Jiang Yunzhou's harmless smiling face.
It turns out that seeing it up close is even more dazzling and mesmerizing than seeing it from a distance!
Oh no, I can't take my eyes off it.
Chapter 76: Your older sister will take good care of you from now on!
Liu Erlong felt her cheeks burning and her heart racing.
The last time this happened was the last time.
Jiang Yunzhou looked Liu Erlong up and down, wondering why this seemed like a fake Liu Erlong.
Wasn't he supposed to have a fiery temper? Why does he seem more like a stutterer?
Liu Erlong tried to calm her turbulent emotions and asked, "How did you find this place? Did you come here specifically to find me? Do you want to hear a story first, or do you want to eat some peanuts?"
A hint of amusement flashed across Jiang Yunzhou's eyes. How come his stuttering is cured again?
The legendary hot-tempered female Tyrannosaurus Rex actually looked so helpless?
"Dean Liu, are you planning to let the guests stand outside in the wind forever?" He raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
Liu Erlong then came to her senses. She felt as if her head was filled with a lump of paste, and suddenly she couldn't think straight.
"Why don't we go inside and sit down?"
"Let's do it? Uh, let's not! We can do it next time! This time, let's get to know each other better first. I think the outside looks pretty nice."
Jiang Yunzhou's gaze swept over the stone table in the courtyard. "The moonlight is lovely tonight. Why don't we have a couple of drinks here?"
"Okay, okay!"
Liu Erlong walked awkwardly to the stone table and sat down stiffly.
Jiang Yunzhou looked at her thoughtfully.
Where's the promised female Tyrannosaurus Rex? This person in front of me is clearly very docile, okay? Who's spreading these rumors?
Could it be that my 99 charm points are too dazzling?
He always felt that Liu Erlong was completely different from the one he knew, and that something about her was a little strange.
If he remembers correctly, this is the first time the two of them have met, right?
Why do I feel like I've changed so much since I got 99 points of charm?
He mentally summoned the system and voiced his question: "System, why is this?"
[Host, all things are interconnected! The more interested you are in your target, the more positive feedback they will show towards you in return.]
Jiang Yunzhou almost burst out laughing upon hearing this. Using physics as an analogy? Is this the role that the system plays in this?
But thinking about it carefully, it actually makes a lot of sense.
Although he was exceptionally handsome, he was still just an ordinary person, with no presence whatsoever.
Ever since the system maxed out his charm, this 'actively interested' switch has been added.
Unlike now, when it attracts so much attention.
It's connected! It's connected!
Now everything makes sense. It turns out that before the system woke up, it had tampered with him, and only after the system woke up did it remove the mask and max out his charm value.
Seriously, what an awesome system setting.
He knew it! There's no such thing as liking someone for no reason. It turns out he was the one who took the initiative to be interested!
This is crucial; otherwise, if charm worked on everyone, he wouldn't be able to leave the house.
He nodded with satisfaction.
He sat down opposite Liu Erlong, deliberately leaning closer: "Dean Liu, your face is so red, do you have a fever?"
Liu Erlong was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to refute, but then she saw a hand with distinct knuckles gently stroking her forehead.
The warm touch silenced her instantly.
"It's not hot at all?"
He withdrew his hand, smiling innocently, "Perhaps the moonlight was too beautiful, making people's faces look like peach blossoms."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was truly moved, and her face flushed even more.
Her heart was pounding like a drum, and she lowered her head slightly, saying, "What...what are you saying?"
"You brought wine here because you want me to have a drink with you?"
Jiang Yunzhou looked up at the moon and sighed softly, "The night is long, and it's hard not to feel lonely and cold."
